A man who is slated to go on trial in one month for the 2010 murder of his ex-wife in Denville told a Superior Court judge Wednesday that he wants a new lawyer because his court-appointed counsel is not spending enough time with him.

Murder suspect Anthony Novellino, 66, was brought before Judge Robert Gilson in Morristown, accompanied by Dolores Mann, deputy public defender for Morris County. Novellino's appointed lawyer, David Glazer, is a prominent homicide defense attorney who could not be in Morristown Wednesday because he is defending a case in federal court.
